A protein shake is an ideal snack because it’s filling and easy to make. I recommend whey protein shakes. Whey protein is the most bioavailable source of protein, which means that it’s the easiest source for your body to digest. Whey protein shakes are the best way to feed your muscles what they need to build and repair themselves after your workouts.

However, I understand that you might want some other option. The next best thing: low-fat (2%) cottage cheese. A half cup is only 100 calories, has only 2 grams of fat, and provides over 15 grams of protein. Remember, you are here to create your best-looking body ever… you need to keep your snacks simple.
